  MLCad.ini 2015-01 update now available
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2015-10-16, 18:49 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (1)

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2015-01. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

  LDView's downloader
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2015-10-16, 12:42 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hi,

I remember vaguely Roland telling me that LDView bases it's "File > Check for Library Updates" download on the .TXTs in the "models" folder. Could this be confirmed? What will happen if I rip off that folder from the library?

Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2015-10-16, 10:49 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi,

I've started adding a list of third part software to the website:

http://www.ldraw.org/downloads-2/third-p...tware.html

I case your interested seeing your prog on the list just send an entry following to pattern below:

Code:
<!-- LDView -->
<h2><a name="ldview"></a>LDView <img src="uploads/images/SiteIcons/WindowsLogo1.png" alt="Windows  Logo" width="25" height="30" /><img src="uploads/images/SiteIcons/MacOSLogo1.png" alt="Mac Logo" width="25" height="30" /><img src="uploads/images/SiteIcons/LinuxLogo1.png" alt="Linux Logo" width="25" height="30" /></h2>
<p>LDView, developed by Travis Cobbs, is a real-time 3D viewer for displaying LDraw models using hardware-accellerated 3D graphics. LDView is part of the <a href="article/104.html" target="_blank">AIOI - LDraw All-In-One-Installer</a>.</p>
<p>Website: <a class="external text" href="http://ldview.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">ldview.sourceforge.net/</a></p>

Thanks,

Over the years different programmers have added a snapping feature to their programs. This thread aims to work out a standard which they can adopted or modified to their needs.

Some theoretical work has already been done, see:

  Dev.-Break for one Month
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2015-10-13, 20:23 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (2)

Dear friends,

due to other things which I have to do and I just do in my free-time [ I play the Cello for about one year... Smile ], I intend to make a little LDraw development break for about a month, but I will still read the forums from time to time.
Just for your information! Smile

Cheers & leg godt

Nils

Code:

            return (pixels / dpi) * 2.54

  • First question is how translate length from Z axis to physical metric.
  • Second question is when you have LDU how get width and height in physical metric.
  • I know about LDCalc but we work in this scenario with 3D without scaling and without transformation.

  Parts you would like to see?
Posted by: Mark Kennedy - 2015-10-12, 16:54 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (9)

Hope this is OK to post here, if not my apologies.

Here is a thread for LEGO parts that you wish existed, but don't currently.
Please feel free to post DAT files, or if you don't have skill with LDraw then you can post images instead.

My first submission is a 1X1 pyramid sloped at 75 degrees (I think that was the angle)


It does look like LEGO will be coming out with a somewhat similar piece though sloped at 31 degrees.
